This really torques my jaw. Yes, the intent for the rescinding of the federal order is to protect children from predators. However, the school shootings, if a little research is done, will be shown to have happened in places that have designated themselves as “Gun-Free Zones”. And the shooters have been, in each case, a member of the “peaceful” democrat party, a liberal person.

As far as poverty, over the last eight (8) years, the former administration not only succeeded in putting many of these children’s parents in poverty, the previous administration’s involvement in the school lunch program has resulted in less children being fed a meal that could sustain them, instead promoting a meal that most children could barely stomach, and resulted in extensive waste as children threw the lunches and dinners away.

This administration is working on taking care of the education issue, one which was overtaken and driven into the ground by the previous administration’s “Common Core” education agenda. This agenda resulted in a marked drop in education standards, confusing tests, and, of course, additions of many “administrators” when teachers were needed, driving up the costs of education, while not adding anything to the schools themselves. The new Education Secretary believes in Charter Schools, vouchers for parents, and choice for parents, something the previous administration fought against, as those take control of the schools from unelected bureaucrats and giving control back to teachers and parents.

And health care? Prior to the former administration, many children HAD healthcare. With the ACA, better known as obamacare, all of these children, through their parents, lost access to adequate healthcare. Can anyone remember “If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor”? Everyone on the left touts the amount of people who got access to healthcare, 30 million+. Problem is, more than 45 to 50 million+ loss access to healthcare as employers dropped personnel hours to part-time levels, cut personnel, etc.

Climate Change. This is the most ridiculous, the dumbest, the worst perversion of science since the Spanish Inquisition. Before we get everyone all riled up, let me explain my reasons. Climate change happens. It happens whether there are people on the planet or not. Climate change is caused by atmospheric activity, earth convulsions (earthquakes, volcanoes, etc.), by the plants and animals on the planet (hey, there are more animals on the planet than there are humans, and waaaaay more insects), and by solar activity. Now, where do I say that HUMANS have negligible effect? It comes from study of different meteorological data available to everyone…or used to be. Let me take you back about 25 years. In the early ’80s, chaos theory was being developed. Chas theory had its basis in meteorological data collected over a couple of hundred years. In the early ’70s, a researcher was collating data, using one of the old mainframes with the teletype input terminals. As it was a late Friday night, being a grad student, and this was the ’70s, he decided to take a shortcut, and set the data to be trimmed to six decimals points to the right. Smiling smugly, he headed out, knowing the collating and information wouldn’t be ready until Monday morning. On Monday, he began the process of reviewing the data, and found that the charts were drastically different than the original charts the data was pulled from. The original numbers were out to 8 decimal places to the right, and by chopping the them down to six, instead of being a rough sketch following the original chart, the entire information showed, in some places, skews of up to 180 degrees from the original data. The grad student then spent the week experimenting with minute adjustments to the data, showing massively unpredictable swings in the output. The grad student then wrote a treatise outlining the effect and called it “Chaos Theory”. Some call it the “Butterfly Effect” but this isn’t quite the same. So what does that have to do with Climate Change? Simple. The true data on climate change, the true meteorological data, shows that the planet has swings through each manner of weather cycling, as a minimum, every 10,000 years. If a true scientist were to accurately use the CORRECT meteorological inputs, they would see the swing. Core tappers in the Arctic and the Antarctic have shown the swings, as well as drilling taps through to the lowest points that scientists are able to go on dry land and the ocean. Mankind has been around roughly 30,000 years. In that time, civilizations have risen and fallen. From roughly 700 AD to 1500 AD, there were many decades of cold, freezing temperatures. Was this due to mankind? I think not. Yet nowadays, as we progress through another cycle, there “scientists” and other Inquisition-style “professionals” who loudly declare that “Climate Change” has been bought on by man. Using, of course, data they themselves have skewed. Just recently, it was learned, “Climate Change” scientists with NOAA ignored accurate data from climate buoys scattered through the oceans, using data collected solely through ships, knowing the data was inaccurate, to bolster climate change charges. I would rather not teach about climate change, and ignore these “professionals” than to allow them to teach such utter nonsense. After all, for these professionals, “Climate Change” is a multi-billion dollar industry. And “Carbon Footprint”? Every damn thing on the planet, and surrounding it, has a “Carbon Footprint”. This doesn’t affect any damn thing, but is just a way for nations to transfer unmarked money in the guise of “Clean Environments”. Hey, if you don’t believe me, check out Gore and DiCaprio. Gore and DiCaprio fly everywhere on private jets, “taking some friends along to reduce the ‘footprint'”. They drive SUVs, at 8 miles to the gallon. If this is being ecologically friendly, I’ll pass. And this is what they want to teach our children? We’ll pass and focus on the real world and real world science.

It’s a shame that so much misinformation is out there, and no one, absolutely no one, that purports to be liberal or progressive or a democrat, is willing to give Donald Trump and his administration time to work on Donald’s agenda. The left expect Donald to immediately produce something, and yet, when he does, screams about violations, etc. The tolerant left. Yeah, tight…

We Must All Stand Together, Or Most Assuredly, We Shall All Hang Separate…

For the past week, the eyes of the world have been on the Middle East. The brief respite offered by the catastrophe of the civilian jet shot down over the Ukraine did not divert the world’s interest. Israel is in a fight for its right to be a free and sovereign country. The Palestinians say they want a free and sovereign country. But the efforts of Hamas to destroy the peace and security of Israel points to the larger problem: Unless the Palestinians denounce the atrocities committed by Hamas, the Middle East will continue to be a hot spot for terrorism, and Israel will not have peace.

Many people moan about the deaths of the Palestinian people, bemoaning Israel’s attacks on civilian population areas. Yet, I hear no bemoaning, no beseeching, no cries of horror by the Palestinian people or the main stream media about Hamas using civilian populace areas, civilian schools, and civilian medical facilities to launch their rockets against Israel. This makes the Palestinian people the biggest hypocrites on the planet, next to Vladimir Putin and Barack Obama. If you allow a military asset to be used from your area of responsibility (AOR), your AOR is no longer a protected site. You have forfeited any protection for you and any other civilians in the area. The Geneva Convention specifically prohibits such use, and removes protection from those places under the International Laws of Armed Conflict. What was once a medical facility for all, becomes a legitimate target if you allow rockets and mortars to be launched from your facility. What was once a civilian residential district, where children played and families live, becomes a legitimate strike object when you allow murderous terrorists to stockpile weapons and war-making material in the basements and inside apartments. At such a time, you must expect counterstrikes against the war-making capabilities of those you harbor in your facilities.

The world blames Israel for the deaths of hundreds of Palestinians. The world, as usual, is wrong. Once a people submit to having their holy institutions, their medical facilities, and their homes, to be places of maintaining war-making material, those people, and, yes, unfortunately, their children, are no longer innocent bystanders. The adults have, themselves, place their families, their livelihoods, and their homes in harm’s way by their actions. The responsibility falls on the Palestinians, not the Israelis, for the deaths. In war, those who would wage war, and permit the war-makers asylum, are directly responsible for any actions that may befall them. To lay blame on others is disingenuous, and disgusting.

If the Palestinians wish to have peace, to stop the deaths of their young people, their children, and their families, and wish to stop the destruction of their property, they need do only one thing. They need to stand up to Hamas and say, Enough! No More! We sacrifice no more of our lives, our families, for your misbegotten war. By denouncing and running the terrorists, the Palestinians can take the first step to peace. It would not be easy. The right thing never is. But, that is the right thing, and the Palestinians know this.

“We Must All Stand Together, Or Assuredly, We Shall All Swing Separate…”

The problem of illegal aliens has been around for some time. Trying to stem the flow of illegal aliens pouring across the border should be one of the top priorities of this administration. The white house should be working hand-in-glove with congress to resolve the situation. In any other country, the border would be manned by the military, border crossings would be guarded and crossers would face in-depth scrutiny, and anyone picked up sneaking across the border would be jailed and deported, sometimes after lengthy and unpleasant jail terms.

In this country, the federal government interdicts local and state government, preventing incarceration and deportation of illegal aliens. The federal government is busy moving illegal aliens around the country, providing free medical care, and free housing, for these illegals. The president refuses to take responsibility for his actions. And, because the congress, the legislative body of the United States government, is not taking any actions due to the president’s refusal to sit down with congress and discuss options, obama has decided he can take executive action.

Illegal aliens do not have any rights under the US constitution. The only obligation the US has, is to deport those people as soon as they arrive, not allow appeal after appeal after appeal. No other country on the planet allows such as this. If someone wants shelter in another country, there is usually refugee status they can achieve. Of course, that means following the legal path, which we have true immigrants doing every day. We cannot allow others to skip to the head of the line on their ability to sneak across the border. We are doing a disservice, not only to those who applied, waited for sometimes years, and finally made it here, but those who came through Ellis Island, suffering through their own deprivations and problems before arriving here.

This president, more than any other, should be hard at work on securing our border. The son of an African father and US mother, obama should understand the issues of illegal aliens, and the problems illegal aliens caused. After all, obama spent considerable time with his mother in other countries that were plagued with those issues, with the result of seeing illegals living in abject poverty. That alone should have reinforced his desire to maintain the US’ sovereignty. Instead, obama is attempting to destroy our borders and unstem the flow, virtually putting the US under siege from various groups that want to invade, yes, invade our country.

If obama doesn’t pull back from the precipice of unlimited illegal aliens, we may well be in the position of being unable, not unwilling, but unable, to secure our borders against a true invasion against someone who wants to do us serious harm. Others may scoff, but I leave you with this thought:

If we can’t stop a bunch of children from illegally entering our country because we’re not protecting our borders, how are we going to stop a real army division complete with tanks and armored personnel carriers? The Border Patrol only have SUVs.
